If you could notice me now
Would you see all the envy behind those eyes
They told endless lies
And after all the view's still black and white
It's black and white
Is it within where you'd absolve my sins
And measure up the way that I have lived with all my good intentions?
So every now and then
I'll think of why it had to end
It came and went
Like a match that burnt at both ends
Save your breath
We only get so many chances
And after all we've been through
I always knew we would end with you
And I, what good am I?
And I've known this all my life
It's like you say
'there's no easy way to escape'
Rest assured I'm self medicated out the front door
Is it within where you'd absolve my sins
And measure up the way that I have lived with all my good intentions?
So every now and then
I'll think of why it had to end
It came and went
Like a match that burnt at both ends
It burnt at both ends
I'm self medicating
Save your breath
We only get so many chances
And after we've been through
I always knew it would end with you
Save your breath
We only get so many chances
And after all we've been through
I always knew it would end with you
Is it within where you'd absolve my sins
And measure up the way that I have lived with all my good intentions?
So every now and then
I'll think of why it had to end
It came and went
Like a match that burnt at both ends
